"老殘遊記" by E Liu is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers around the character known as Lao Can, who, originally from Jiangnan, adopts the title that highlights his unusual experiences. The story follows his journey across different regions, intertwining themes of societal challenges, personal quest, and the realities of life grounded in Chinese culture and philosophy. At the start of the novel, Lao Can, a thirty-something former scholar turned healer, reflects on his humble background after struggling to find his place in society. He is summoned to aid a wealthy man's family suffering from a mysterious ailment and, upon their unlikely improvement, he is celebrated but eventually feels restless. Lao Can is then encouraged by friends to travel to the scenic Penglai Pavilion to enjoy the view of the sea and sunset. While there, they witness the dangers of an approaching storm and a ship in peril; this sets the stage for Lao Can’s resolve to aid those in distress, revealing his mixed feelings about fate, duty, and morality as he steps into action.
